Name | TCF7L2 |
---|---|
Synonyms | TCF4 |
Function | Participates in the Wnt signaling pathway and modulates MYC expression by binding to its promoter in a sequence-specific manner. Acts as a repressor in the absence of CTNNB1, and as activator in its presence. Activates transcription from promoters with several copies of the Tcf motif 5'-CCTTTGATC-3' in the presence of CTNNB1. TLE1, TLE2, TLE3 and TLE4 repress transactivation mediated by TCF7L2/TCF4 and CTNNB1. Expression of dominant-negative mutants results in cell-cycle arrest in G1. Necessary for the maintenance of the epithelial stem-cell compartment of the small intestine. |
Cellular Location | Nucleus, PML body. Nucleus. Note=Diffuse pattern. Colocalizes with SUMO1 and PIAS4 in a subset of PML (promyelocytic leukemia) nuclear bodies |
Tissue Location | Detected in epithelium from small intestine, with the highest expression at the top of the crypts and a gradient of expression from crypt to villus. Detected in colon epithelium and colon cancer, and in epithelium from mammary gland and carcinomas derived therefrom. |

Background
This gene encodes a high mobility group (HMG)box-containing transcription factor that plays a key role in theWnt signaling pathway. The protein has been implicated in bloodglucose homeostasis. Genetic variants of this gene are associatedwith increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Several transcript variantsencoding multiple different isoforms have been found for this gene.
